Except I think mine is because of too much humidity.



I went away for a few days and the incubator got too humid inside where the eggs are. I had one leo born deformed and 2

others drowned in the eggs. One was a blizzard, the other a het.



The deformed baby was an albino. Her eyelids were malformed and her back legs had a membrane across the back of the leg, keeping her from moving them properly. Her vent seemed to be malformed too.

She looked like she was getting a R.I from being on damp paper towels and when she was on dry her eyes crusted over. She didn't eat, hardly drank. She would walk right off my hand. She wouldn't even swallow when I tried to forcefeed. She'd just spit everything out.

I just put her down after 13 days of trying... I couldn't stand to see her suffer and stress like that. She was already loosing weight.



Good luck with your little one tho. Hopefully she'll be okay.
